[/quote'] Thai culture it seems the mourning time for a royal is a year or so. I do not know the exact details, someone explained it to me once.

samak Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 not very precise information in this thread! the elder sister of the King, her Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana died in january 2008 after long illness! Chalerm Yoobamrung is not Interior Minister anymore (he quit already under Samak) and is now Health Minister and has not much to say in this affair! mourning period for Royals is indeed several months. many of us remember when her Highness Princess Mother died in 1995 and the funeral was in 1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAX Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Will the shops be open ?? MBK etc ? what about manufacturing businesses ? Will they be asked to close , or just close anyway ? I need to make a trip next month but its a work trip and if places are all closed for 4-5 days I may need to change plans thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
